Download or read book Why Indigenous Literatures Matter written by Daniel Heath Justice and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part survey of the field of Indigenous literary studies, part cultural history, and part literary polemic, Why Indigenous Literatures Matter asserts the vital significance of literary expression to the political, creative, and intellectual efforts of Indigenous peoples today. In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Blending personal narrative and broader historical and cultural analysis with close readings of key creative and critical texts, Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self. More importantly, Indigenous writers imaginatively engage the many ways that communities and individuals have sought to nurture these relationships and project them into the future. This provocative volume challenges readers to critically consider and rethink their assumptions about Indigenous literature, history, and politics while never forgetting the emotional connections of our shared humanity and the power of story to effect personal and social change. Written with a generalist reader firmly in mind, but addressing issues of interest to specialists in the field, this book welcomes new audiences to Indigenous literary studies while offering more seasoned readers a renewed appreciation for these transformative literary traditions.

The breach in the timeline from 1192 has suddenly increased in speed and is going to catch up to their present in less than a week. In order to look for clues regarding Krenn Klore's activities, the group tracks down his bunker containing the time machine, only to find out that it had been set on fire and its interior is burned to a crisp. However, they find a pile of miscellaneous items under a cloth, unaffected by the fire which includes a mysterious robe and a gold mask designed to look like a spiral. They travel back to the past in 1192 and discover the mask and robe belong to a mysterious cult calling themselves "The Servants of the Oracle" who worship a mysterious deity. The cult has networks throughout Europe. Zerf Xerex attempts to infiltrate a secret cult base alone only to be captured by the cult.

The Servants of the Oracle have developed a biological weapon, and plan to spread deadly disease in many parts of the world with their most prominent target being the meeting between King Richard the First and Saladin.

Download or read book Holy Cow written by Sarah Macdonald and published by Crown. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her twenties, journalist Sarah Macdonald backpacked around India and came away with a lasting impression of heat, pollution and poverty. So when an airport beggar read her palm and told her she would return to India—and for love—she screamed, “Never!” and gave the country, and him, the finger. But eleven years later, the prophecy comes true. When the love of Sarah’s life is posted to India, she quits her dream job to move to the most polluted city on earth, New Delhi. For Sarah this seems like the ultimate sacrifice for love, and it almost kills her, literally. Just settled, she falls dangerously ill with double pneumonia, an experience that compels her to face some serious questions about her own fragile mortality and inner spiritual void. “I must find peace in the only place possible in India,” she concludes. “Within.” Thus begins her journey of discovery through India in search of the meaning of life and death. Holy Cow is Macdonald’s often hilarious chronicle of her adventures in a land of chaos and contradiction, of encounters with Hinduism, Islam and Jainism, Sufis, Sikhs, Parsis and Christians and a kaleidoscope of yogis, swamis and Bollywood stars. From spiritual retreats and crumbling nirvanas to war zones and New Delhi nightclubs, it is a journey that only a woman on a mission to save her soul, her love life—and her sanity—can survive.
